About Myself

Yo, I’m Matt Roszak, also known as Kupo Games. (previously kupo707, or matt-likes-swords) I’m a 26 year old indie game developer from Canada, who lives in Glasgow, Scotland. My family is mostly Polish.

My work can be found on Kongregate, Armor Games, Newgrounds, and many other websites. I work with Adobe Flash and publish games for the web, and for Steam. I’m best known for creating the Epic Battle Fantasy series of turn-based RPGs, and their spinoff titles, Bullet Heaven and Adventure Story. You can also find expanded versions Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and Bullet Heaven 2 on Steam, and Cat Cafe on Android.

You can contact me at: kupo707 AT hotmail DOT comOr just leave a comment on this website. I try to read all comments on all accounts that I control, including Twitter, Facebook, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Steam, Kongregate, and Newgrounds.

My Current Projects

I’m working on Epic Battle Fantasy 5! There’s a progress bar in the top right of this website! (unless you’re on mobile, then it’s somewhere at the bottom)

I’ve also got lots of other game ideas, maybe I’ll make some of those while working on EBF5, or maybe I’ll save them for later. We shall see.

About this Website

On this site you’ll find:

All of my games.

News and updates relating to my games.

Previews and demos of upcoming games.

Miscellaneous art that I do.

Fanart from players.

My opinions on games that I play and other stuff.

Boring blogs about what I do in my free time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What software, programming language, or game engine, do you use to make your games?
A: I use Adobe Flash. CC2015 is probably my favourite version. I now use Actionscript 3 for programming. I used Actionscript 2 for Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and earlier games.

For Bullet Heaven 2 and Cat Cafe I also used the Starling and DragonBones frameworks to get some hardware acceleration in there.

Q: How do I make games?A: I studied Computing Science at University, so I’ve got some programming, project management and design skills from that. There’s plenty of resources online too, so just do some Googling. It might be worth getting a book or two on the subject as well. O’Reilly’s Actionscript books are pretty good, and also the ActionScript 3 Bible.

What language you learn isn’t too important, because most of the skills will be transferrable. Just go do some programming in whatever language you like or have available. Make some prototypes. Draw and animate some stuff. You can practice on some user-friendly engines like RPG Maker, so you can learn some game design without much programming. There’s tons of options, but I just use Flash, so I can’t recommend much. Flash is expensive so you’ll have to pirate it if you’re a noob – or just subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud for a month or two.

Either way, it’s going to take you years of practice to make anything decent with any engine. That’s the important part.

Q: How do I send you fanart that I made?
A: Just post it somewhere public like DeviantArt, Facebook or Newgrounds and send me a link to it on any site that I use (DA, FB, NG, Kongregate etc…). If it’s good I’ll feature it on my blogs (or even in my games!).

Q: When’s Epic Battle Fantasy 5 coming out?
A: 2032

Q: Why do my save files keep getting deleted in Flash games?
A: This is caused by browser privacy settings, and tools that delete cookies. Just make sure you don’t delete cookies. Use Google to find out how to change the settings on your browser, or whatever cleaning tools you’re using. Bullet Heaven 2 has an option to backup your saves in a text file, and EBF5 will have that too.

Or you can just buy the Steam versions of my games to avoid this problem!

Q: Are any of the characters in your games based on real people?A: Just Matt and some of the boring NPCs.

Well,can’t wait for the game. Still want to beat a cute boss too. ; )
Your arts are impressive too. I suggest that status effect had it longer effect like real life.
Maybe some weather effect that interrupt attacks or giving advantages?

The future looks pretty neat. A couple spin off games after the steam release might be a good transition to whatever you’re making next, like what happened from EBF3 to EBF4. I’d like more emphasis on a Adventure Story sequel though.

sir if you do not mind if you ever make epic fantasy battle May I suggest you add a new player who has weapons like giant ninja stars but whether woman or man. and final boss can be a super human god cat owned by weapons of all players and all their skills or just improved cat god. and heads of each area may be the bosses of their games like zombie goku, Valkyrie and akron, thanks for your attention.

Hi, um, Mr. Rosnak? I really love your games, stumbled onto them on Kongregate and decided to come here to check out more cool stuff ^^
…I’ve played EBF1, 2, 3, and 4 (I didn’t finish any except 4…one and two didn’t have a story mode and #3 had glitch keys ) But I REALLY love EBF 4 and when, after many weeks, I finally beat Godcat and discovered the ending…well, I was a bit bummed out, you see…
I’m sorry for all the, erm, ‘jibberjab,’ but I have a major favor to ask of you? I know you are really busy with lots of other stuff, like that awesome sequel to the Bullet Heaven game, but perhaps when you are finished with that you could maybe make an EBF 5? I’d literally jump for joy!!
But it is your choice, since you devote so much of your time, Mr. Rosnak. I would really be ecstatic about the pentquel…?

OH, also, Mr. Rosnak, sorry to, uh, bother you continually but I play Mineplex as well! I am usually on server 11, and I at times just dwandle about at the Hub. If I got the chance to see you I’d probably fangirl lol, but I won’t bother you, since I practically wrote an entire essay on how awesome you are to me already in the comments here >_<
Well, it's nighttime for me, so goodnight!

You’re my favorite game developer ever, can’t wait for Bullet Heaven 2. I was appalled to see only 47 comments on your about section, so I figured I’d contribute. I’m rarely anyone’s fanboy, but you’ve definitely earned it from me. I just wish I could work with you in some way, that would be awesome seeing as I’ve been studying to be a game developer. If you were hiring, I’d probably end up devoting my days to mastering it so I could be hired by you XD

No, I’m not going to apologize for fawning over you. Keep up the good work!

hey Matt, I just wanted to say that I have some ideas for EBF5. Let’s start with new elements. Snow. It simply freezes the enemy. I mean freeze, it is not like ice. Ice makes enemy can’t do anything for 1 round and snow slows enemy. It will make their evade worse. Second, Acid. I think there should be a difference between acid and poison. Poison status effect lasts longer but acid’s do more damage. And third it will be earth, wood or something. There should be 2 different elements. One is Rock and the other Earth. Rock is the element like Matt’s attacks and the Earth is like Anna’s attack. Maybe there can be more elements but I dont have more ideas. And for elements, magical and phsyical attacks should have differences I think. And if the attack is phsical, the surronding of the element image can be different color like yellow and the magical’s can be red for example. I really want to see the character’s difference. Matt is OP with phsyical rock attacks, Natalie is OP with magical holy attacks etc. And I think the new game needs more characters. I have a character idea where he is a crazy scientist and he is OP with acid and status effects. We need like a lot new characters and maybe we can have them at the half of the game. There should be 5 characters in fights I think. For the supports, I have a really nice idea. Support characters won’t fight but they will make some of your elements better. Let’s say it is Anna, your earth and poison attacks will be better and evade will be higher, Natalie will make your magical attacks and magical defense better etc. And maybe characters only for support like Nolegs. Maybe they can deal damage when all of your characters turn is finished. And then we need story like Matt and Lance will fight because they both love Natalie and one of them will leave the party and come back later at the end of the game etc. And I want a new game after the end of the normal game which you will have all of the skills max etc and fights will be a lot harder. And please, make EBF5 a lot longer because I really love the series. I play at least 1 hour in one sit. Thanks for reading my ideas. Please reply me if you read that.

Your Epic Battle Fantasy games are Epic. I am an game designer. Why dont you make an MMO game or multiplayer game or a game with online ranking list?
You have to search about Accel World, SuperMechs, CardHunter. I also love Heroes of Storm, Hearthstone. You watched High School DxD.
I will design my latest game and send you. It will be a card and map based combat game.

Hey, seeing that you like swords, Matt, I thought I might make a suggestion for your RL. There is something called the SCA which stands for the Society for Creative Anachronism, basically the people there relive medieval life with things like feasts, art, and of course, swordplay! Technically what they do counts as fencing, but instead of using flimsy sport weapons they swing swords you wouldn’t want to get hit with, even though they won’t be sharp, and some people even fight with full plate armor on.
I’m not telling you that you have to learn how to use a sword (although learning actual techniques is pretty awesome, and turning them into attacks for your games would impress most people, and the grapples are boss) but I figure even going and watching (they will ask you to dress up for it so you don’t spoil the atmosphere just by being there) would be something you would like.
Last thing is you live pretty far from me (you can probably tell since I said armor instead of armour) so you would have to search for events on your own, I can’t tell you what’s going on in the UK aside from the fact they will be there.

Heyo, Matt! Just wanted to stop by and take the time to say how much I appreciate your series! It’s really freaking awesome. In preparation for Bullet Heaven 2, I’ve taken the time to try and get as many medals as possible in the first Bullet Heaven. And then, if you start to work on Epic Battle Fantasy 5, I’ll gladly await its release!
Just so you know, you’re the only one to have me hyped for a flash game! (And then I may get the Steam game if I can scrape up cash) – –
Keep at it, Matt!

I made a Terraria character that I created to look like Lance as best as I could. Here’s the link to the pic:http://imgur.com/I8vUnQD

He has all three of the mechanical minions summoned, The Twins, Deadly Sphere, and UFO, His pet is a Dinosaur (I feel like either him or Matt would choose a dino for a pet), he’s riding the UFO mount and is firing one of the most awesome guns in Terraria, the Megashark!

Here she is. She was difficult to make but I think I came pretty close to her likeness with this one. Her pet is a sapling and she has the magic quiver on her back and the bow she’s using is the Pulse Bow, a bow that turns arrows it fires into bolts of energy that bounce off of walls.

I’ve manages to make Matt and Natz as best as I could on Terraria. There wasn’t a dreadlocks hairstyle so I went with the one that was closest to it for Matt. As for Natz, I used a hair style as close to her’s as I could, it’s just a bit too long. Also, there isn’t really a shorter dress and there weren’t any boots similar to her’s that would work. And the Cat pet with her was my attempt at making a version of Nolegs but it’s normally a black cat so that’s the closest I could get it to Nolegs’ fur color.

Hello Matt i just wanted to say at my school im doing an interactive media course which is game design and learning about different game companies and one of the tasks i have been set is to write on a small independent company so i decided to do Kupo games as my Indie company to write but there some information i haven’t been able to find from the research ive done so im hoping you could answer them directly the 2 questions are How much revenue do you earn from your games and where does most of your revenue come from? undoubtedly most of your revenue comes from your games but do you have an outside source of revenue like a job etc thank you for reading big fan of your work and will defintly be buying bullet heaven 2 when its out

I’m not gonna tell you how much I earn, but I can say that it’s all from games, and most of it is from sales on Steam, with a decent amount also being from sales on Kongregate.
Most of the revenue used to be from ads and sponsorships from websites like Kongregate and Armor Games, but those aren’t very effective anymore and don’t bring in much money. Sales are the way to go these days.

Ok thank you for answering I can finish my assignment now ^^ good luck in the future of your games I will continue. Supporting you and buy any that are released I look forward. To bullet. Heaven. 2 and whatever. Game comes next perhaps Epic battle. Tower defense Or a return. With EBF5 Thank you for all your hard work

Heyo matt i have played your game and i have a few idea for ebf5
Some players have skill to turn into deity- like warriors
combo limit break that use limit break bar of more than 1 player
Give lance a weapon element limit break like the other 3
and finally more usable item like bomb or shuriken

hey matt i have an idea for ebf5. you should make voice for the charater (not include NPC) cause some other flash game i played the character have voices and it was awesome and because i like to hear the conversation between the character the jokes, the sarcasm,etc…

Can you remove the changing difficulty during the game? it seems that players are using cheat in the game and they can not prove their veteran whenever they can easily change the difficult level. so it will make the game more boring and don’t have much challenges. i hope this will be applied to EBF5 ( sorry for my bad english).

Well, that’s what the epic medals are for. Of course, I’m referring to the “Beat ____ on epic difficulty” medals, as those medals are not to be taken lightly. In EBF3, I must say that playing through and beating the game on epic wasn’t as hard as EBF4, as you didn’t really need to have too high of a elemental resistance against most foes. In EBF4, without some elemental resistance, you’ll take some heavy (really heavy) damage, especially from bosses. But those epic medals aren’t to be taken lightly, especially those for Battle Mountain.

oh no, in this current EBF4 version, god cats is so strong , stronger than the old version a few year ago. i want to fight fair with them( my team and god cat’s team are lv 33 ) but i can’t. they hit me almost 1 hit and i die @@. I have fought to wave 7 but it was my limit . is this possible to fight god cats at the same level??? :( T_T

It is perfectly possible to be at the same level as Godcat. It just requires some strategy. General rules of thumbs for these boss battles are:
1. Make sure you have buffs on all your players, especially on epic. Most important ones are Defence and Mag. Defence.
2. Equip equipments that provide protection. These could either increase defence/mag. defence in general, or increase resistance to certain elements. For this battle specifically, it might be wise to prepare 2 sets for all players, one that resists holy and one that resists dark.
3. Use limit breaks when needed. They’re there to give you an edge in battle.
4. Use items if needed.
5. Make sure all equipments are at level 5.
6. Make sure to use stat items. They make a huge difference.

If you’ve ever faced any of the battles on Battle Mountain, especially the marathons, then you’ll discover that Godcat has nothing on those battles.

Hello?
I am a person who enjoyed the game in Korea.
You are scared of EBF will be popular in Korea , But
This is why people does not know English.
This does not absolutely derogatory English.
English is still above those in and joins for those who want a fun game.
Please.
I’ll let you know the three Koreans will watch the game
1. The design, effects, play time
2. Did you use the Korean?
3. A lot of popular people know?
Please
Please add a Korean.
I’ll buy more games 10 times
This translation will be strange. I’ll translate it.
So please enjoy as players simply add one Korean.

Matt I just wanted to know why you don’t add any characters from Brawl Royal,some of your old animations like attack of the black mages 5 or ones in your old EBF series as bosses,NPC’s or just people mentioned in the game also bring back Mog

I’m making an RPG in RPG Maker MV, and I was wondering if I could have some of your characters appear in my game. I’m not sure how big of a role they would have in it, whether I would make them full party members or just give them some side-roles, but I figured I should probably ask you first, since they are your characters. I also have no idea if I’ll ever release the game commercially, it probably won’t end up being good enough for that, but I might as well try to make something decent with it.

If you do allow me to have them be in the game, I’ll do my best to stick with their personalities as you’ve portrayed them in your games, and overall have them stay true to themselves. Hopefully you’ll let me use them, but I understand completely if you don’t want me to.

I Faqing Love, Love, Love your game!!! but if I could request one thing, it would be for a line of new inventory items called “Boomerangs, that you would buy at a store, & would come back to the hero, but the ctach is that you can only use one per round, or match or battle, one of those, perhaps something like that. The use wood be for those times that you need some kind of special damage, but only have a few elements at your disposal at a time. There could be different kinds of boomerangs too! Like the basic Wooden Boomerang, Frosterang, Flamerang Electrang, Bomberang, Steel Boomerang(stronger version of Wooden Boomerang). I really hope you will consider this post, please!!!!!!!!!

Is it possible that the 5th EBF game will be random and have memes and references and lots of randomness like in the first two EBFs? (1 and 2)
They had meme references like (Fight da powa! and BOOM HEADSHOT!) but the 3rd and 4th games were taken more seriously. :/

I’m still pondering if the 2032 is a joke or not. If it isn’t then damn, but in any case let me get to th point.
I found one of your games on Armor Games when I was 8, being the small child I was (and still am) I didn’t understand what have the shit they were spewing out was. Now that I have turned to live a life of memes I understand every god damn joke. Not only that but I decided to 99% your game, cause I can’t buy that shit (I really want to though) I’ve wanted to find some shadow vs player artwork but I can’t find any, I’m no good at drawing so I can’t do it. In any case, let’s hope that our Kupo707 stays alive and doesn’t die till 2032! And if he does then shit… Don’t die on us man and that art work in the game looks really nice so far.

How did you meet and start working with Phyrnna (or HalcyonicFalconX as she was previously known)? Epic Battle Fantasy 1 used songs from other media like Final Fantasy, so how did you ended up having her working with you starting from Epic Battle Fantasy 2?

(And here’s just some random gushing about her songs. Her songs are awesome. )

1) Weapon skills are sometimes unrelyable for triggering. If you’d like so, would it be possible to add Flairs which guarantees triggering the weapon effect from a weapon? Of course at the cost of offense(maybe like -30 Phys/Mag Attack?). And if not solved by Flairs, maybe adding more skills which might trigger those weapon skills guaranteed might work well too. Status effects caused by weapons aren’t included.

2) If it’s in your intention, maybe telling us the exact chance of triggering a status effect or weapon skill could be great. If I didn’t see wrong, also all skills seem to have a different behaviour in applying those effects, just like Matt’s Windslash does trigger such effects at much higher chance or so.

3) Probably interesting to add skills, Flairs or weapon effects which fill up the Limit Break bar without the need of taking damage?

4) Giving immunity to a status effect might prevent equipment which cause this effect beeing applied might be good? At the moment even if we have an immunity to an effect like curse, using the gear which might curse the player are still working. I’m aware that it might be partly too strong, but just to mention.

5) Those randomly summons caused by equipment are sometimes unrelyable. While I don’t think there needs something to be changed necessarily but sth. like in 1) mentioned might be used for such summons aswell maybe. Or maybe make those skills additionally 1 level stronger(or 50% stronger if it’s a damaging/healing skill) when using the skill(if the character has this one) without waiting for the effect.

And another side note I’d like to add:
I’m wondering what happened to the Acid skill. I did complete the game with just 1-2 chests and 1 secret missing and I’m really wondering if this skill got either removed or moved to another location. If there’s any info out about this skill, please link it to me, thanks.

And to come to a conclusion, good job so far, making EBF so much challenging and interesting to discover in terms of character builds and strategies. Wish more of such challenges will come with the next EBF game(and probably more). Good work and thanks for reading.

Hi I’m a long time fan of yours since EBF2. Is there a difference between computing science and computer science because I’m taking an IT course and before you came up with the EBF series what would be your preferred occupation?

Hey Matt. I was just playing EBF4 on Kongregate today, and I noticed that the Acid Skill is no longer in the game. I was wondering if thats a glitch or if it was removed for some reason. I’ve opened every chest in the game, and the one specified in the online guide (in the puzzle room after the Praetorian MKII fight) contains Titanium instead of the skill. Just wanted to get some clarity on the matter. Thanks.

(Translation via Google Translate, sorry if there are any errors in the text)

Hey I have an idea for EBF5 could have a temple / cemetery where have a ritual, and to complete it will be necessary items of any kind and how many you want.

After completing their items with a portal will open, and it will have enemies based on used items, their level will be based on your and items used.

Have a boss and a chest the boss is based on the item more “rare” you put in, the chest gives you items that improve stats (fixed amount) and 20% more items than the original amount used.

Enemies will not drop anything besides XP, all the loot is in the chest, which can only be opened after defeating the boss,

You can exit the portal at any time, but lost ALL the items you used in the ritual.

Example of a portal: were used 100 snowballs, and 5 Elixir of life, will have several goos and snow and variations shrubs, and some spirits, Angelic Eyes, Chimeras Bears, and the boss will be 1 dragon strong gold.

I think it would be really cool, will have a variety of enormous challenges, you can multiply your loots, obviously will have a limit, something like 10 portals to every 6 hours. Well that’s it.

Maybe it’s just an interest or he wants to reflect a piece of his personality in this character. I for example like the medieval topic and I think it’s not that much uncommon that pirates share the same area of interest, even if those are in different ages. It’s just a thought, but maybe he just likes it medieval while also beeing interested about pirates, just like me.

Hey, I am a freshman at Milwaukie Academy of the Arts. In it we have this class called arts lab where we have to research a topic we come up ourselves. I want to be a game designer when I grow up so I asked how do game designers view make games now versus when they first started making games. I was wondering if you might help me finish my project by answering that question. You don’t have to but it would be greatly appreciated if you did, thank you.

So, I was wondering, how would I transfer EBF4 save files from computer to another computer? I have copies of said save files (EBF4file1.sol and etc.), but I’m not quite sure where to place it from there on out. Currently, I’m not looking for a transfer to Steam (that’ll be sometime in the future), only computer to computer.

I was also wondering if you happen to know of any specifics about how Kongregate saves their game data, specifically EBF4. I have an EBF4file1.sol file within my assets.kongregate.com, but it doesn’t match up with the one in-game when I play it on Kongregate. I.e. I have files: “EBF4file4.sol”, “EBF4file6.sol”, and “EBF4file7.sol”. If I’m thinking what I think it is, then save files should appear in slots 4, 6, and 7, right? Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case in my situation. Instead, it appears blank with a save file that is irrelevant in slot 1 (top left spot), or something of the sorts.

Sorry If I repeated this question even if you’ve answered it already. I couldn’t find much help to me when looking around (maybe I looked in the wrong places?).
But I appreciate any kind of help that I can get. I’ve been a fan of EBF4 for quite a while now, playing it back from 2013. Since I’ve finished the game back then, I’d like to reload that save data (which I cleverly backed-up). Although it’s nice to replay the game, I’d like to see what I was doing from back then.

The easiest way IMO is to make a save file on the new computer – and then do a full system search for that file to find the save folder, and then put all the old files into that folder. Restart the game afterwards.

I don’t know where you live.
Just look up the best ones. Also try not to get into massive debt!

It’s true that you can learn all of the content in your own time, but a good university will make it so much more worthwhile, as they will have experienced researchers, industry contacts, and just a high concentration of smart people together which you can learn from.

will we meet god cat again also any early boss disgens and if we do see god cat again it would be cool to upgrade the creator and destroyer also i noticed the lance of creation and staff of destruction any significance also whats with the smiley face at the bottom.

Hey! Matt Roszak… I have played your games in sequence since my childhood (epic battle fantasy 1,2,3,4) you have made a great game. This game remained my remembrance. Music, game characters, and their special abilities. Great game design. Meanwhile, I’ve always created pictures of your game and I can still send it if you want … I play and play the game (I have my game book). So I love your game when I was young. I’m still enjoying it. My favorite character is Natalie. I would love to hear from you. good bye…

Hello Matt Roszak. I uploaded the pictures to DeviantART. My DeviantART username: Kai377
I took the pictures separately. There is the order of these pictures, but I got mixed up. You already understand . This Epic Battle Fantasy 4 notebook game.

I discovered your game Epic Battle Fantasy 4 on steam one day and when I was gifted it, immediately fell in love with the game’s charm. It was amazing, hilarious, cute, and challenging (still haven’t beat it at the time I write this though). The characters were entertaining and the flow of the game wasn’t too disrupted by difficulty that it was unfun. The amount of content and functions that game had definitely made it worth the price.

Eventually I found the third one, EBF3 on steam as well, and have fallen in love with that as well (though that one I beat #datfinalboss ). It was truly beautiful, and this lead me to wonder why EBF1 and EBF2 weren’t on Steam. I went to Newgrounds and tried the games out. While they had their charm, it didn’t flow the way 3 and 4 did. I still would play them though, as they weren’t bad games.

Now comes the point where I reached this site and am overjoyed at the idea of an Epic Battle Fantasy 5! You are a truly talented person, and I will patiently (but also eagerly) wait for this new game to be released. I will be giving the other games a try to see what they are like, but as of right now I am on an EBF obsession! :)

So I finally beat EBF4 a couple days ago…..My god that fight was absurd and difficult, and it was on normal! Matt you really do enjoy bringing out the most destructive things in your games. Akron was challenging, but even with a level cap I still managed to do it with a strategy and a well balanced array of items and abilities. It was glorious when I finally killed that demon.

I then made it a duty to finish off Godcat, but then I saw the wave count and was very intimidated, especially with the strategy to complete the bestiary of running away after registering The Creator. I thought I’d be fine………but everything changed when The Destroyer attacked TwT That thing….my god was it annoyingly difficult. I had to rethink and replan everything……..then came that glorious moment when I reached BOTH of them and cried (much like Lance X3). I did it though, I beat both of them (BARELY!) and beat the game! It was glorious, but it is what the Godcats say that intrigued me most. I’m hopeful that we will see them again, but maybe as allies or summons possibly

I don’t know what you got planned Matt, but I can’t wait to see that bar hit 100%! Your games are a fucking gold mine and I’ll gladly pay the price to play them! You deserve it after working so hard to bring these games to life

Have you ever thought about adding a multiplayer aspect to EBF5? There are a few ways that could be done to create a PvP experience in EBF5 if people want it. Even if you don’t want to add PvP, what are your thoughts about adding a Co-Op aspect to the game? Both of these ways could increase the game population and make for some more fun playthroughs, overall increasing the enjoyability of the game.

hi matt if you do read this i just want to say that i LOVE you’re games there challenging and long like final fantasy which sadly i cant play but hey now i have an idea you’re the best and relax i may not be patient but i know that it wont be coming out for awhile and i can understand a Hyades so relax and enjoy you’re day

Hey Matt maybe you have already answered this, but do you work on these games by yourself? If so you appear to be pretty successful for a one man developer (according to steam spy anyway) and I’m surprised different studious haven’t sought you out or perhaps they have and you refused to maintain creative freedom. I look forward to this new game and hopefully it’s a hit.

Will ebf5 aviable vor mobile (android / etc.?)
would be nice… (I hope you didnt get this question too often )
maybe i can help (I’m not doubt your skills, just your time ^^) im “new” at programming but im learning (my favorite engine is unity ^^ (pls no hate ))
(I now c#, js, html, css, very small parts of java ^^)

bad englisch -> I’m german… so…. sorry

btw what I like in ebf is the art(style?), story, … hard to describe for me…. the whole game
now my little brother play ebf4 xD

when i have more time i will try bullet heaven 2 ^^ and play the steam version of ebf4

I am a huge fan of all the EBF games! EBF4 being my favorite! I am super excited for EBF5! And I hope you keep making them after 5! I look forward to playing them for years to come

I do have a question for the steam version of EBF4 (which may have been answered but I may not have seen it) I let my cousin play the game on my steam and he filed all my save files? Is there a way I can delete them???

Have you ever considered using Patreon? It seems like you’re not really the starving artist type (at least these days), but a lot of game creators have been using it to supplement their income. I know I’d be willing to send over a few dollars a month, especially since your games are free to play.

Secondly, is EBF5 likely to have the same (Windows-only) issues on Steam? I know there’s still some time in which they could make it more accessible, but have you heard of any changes on that end?

Yeah, I’ll probably stick to windows again. BUT the .swf file will be included in the installation folder, so if you don’t care about Steam features like achievements, you can run that file on anything.
